    Yes, he is playing a new character. At first I thought they gave him the role of Logan Lee but changed his story a little. But I saw at SBS site that there is another character named Logan Lee who is not the profesor in disguise like it was first announced. The actor who played him was not announced. They still kept Logan Lee but they made him a suporting character.

     

    It seems that Park Eun Seok will have a suporting role also but it looks he will have a funny part. I just wanter what is up to Guho-dong (Park Eun seok`s character)  that he is so excentric.

     

    Is he under disguise or something? Or is he a comic character hmm

    Ha Do Kwon's character has a long, curly hair but he is an artist so it is not unusual to see him like that. I hope we could hear him sing a little in this drama.

     

    I think we will hear him sing. The drama is at a penthouse and music school right?

    I wonder why Ju Dan Tae and Shim Su Ryun is keeping the other daughter hidden. She is comatose but why hide this fact?

     

    Omo! They hid their daughter?! Whyyyy?!

    I can`t not help but laugh at his visual in the drama. I am curious why he is like that. It looks like he is on disguise. Where does confidence comes from to be such unconventional in that elitist school? He is rich in disguise as a teacher? I hope not and that what he presents is really him.

     

     

    He plays a new character? I was wondering who is the long hair guy in the character chart hahaha. Somehow your description above reminds me of Oh Man Seok's character in What's Up :lol:. 

     

    On the other hand....Ha Do Kwon's styling reminds me of maestro in Nodame. Hahahaha

    If the Kairos offer had not intersected with Penthouse, Shin Sung Rok would have been in both dramas. I totally understand why he chose Kairos over Penthouse.  I would have chosen the same as well.

    It would have been too similar roles after Return and The Last Empress but he would have been great playing a baddie. Probably the writer thought of him when she wrote the role. Imagine three actors from Return in this drama.:lol:  But I am pleased that Uhm Ki Joon took the role. It was a good remplacement.

     

    It would be a treat for me if he is in both dramas. But character wise, I understand why he chose Kairos because it's a new type of character for him. Penthouse was actually planned to air after Alice in Fri/Sat slot, what a coincidence that both Kairos and Penthouse end up premiering on the same date hahaha. And Uhm Ki Joon and SSR will both be in Monte Cristo as Monte Cristo yay!

    Park Eun Seok uploaded a BTS pictures from the Penthouse shooting. He commented that it (the drama)  is going to be amazing. If you say so.... We`ll see.

    We don`t know more informations about his character. They gave his old role to Yoon Jong Hyun and they made changes to the new character.  They changed the name from Logan Lee to Goo Ho-Dong, they made him a sport teacher rather than an English teacher but I don`t know if he will have the same background. I think the writer will make him a rich man too like the original Logan Lee.

     

    Ohhh!!! Is that why Yoon Jung Hyun was not in the script read...because he was not cast yet? Hahaha. Anyways...Logan Lee was initially offered to Ha Suk Jin. I dunno what happened to his casting. Another casting that didn't come to light was Oh Man Seok. He was in talks but I didn't hear anything after that.

    Unfortunetly for me,  I hate the aburdity and craziness if that`s we will also get in Penthouse (probably that`s what we will see in Penthouse also just like in The Last Empress.). I saw some random scenes on You Tube from the latest drama of Kim Sun ok) and I was taking aback by all the yelling, begging, slapping, hiting  I saw from the characters. At least, I will be happy to see people here enjoying the series if I don`t. I am looking forward to read the comments on this thread.

     

    They looks ridiculous in those outfit but perhaps we`ll laugh a little seeing them in costumes. Rich people get bored easily and participate in all kinds of events.

     

    Currently Penthouse teasers feel like The Last Empress + Return mashup to me. Penthouse involves rich people who can do anything and possibly get away with it...just like the fantasy monarch in TLE and the Evil 4 in Return and probably like many other characters in Kim Soon Ok's older dramas lol. Eugene's character is/was a musical actress much like Oh Sunny in TLE. Also...the director for TLE, Return and Penthouse is the same, maybe that's also the reason why I feel the teaser has similar vibes.

    Of course something happened at the penthouse -_-!! Return spoilerish gif:

    I saw a woman falling.And it was said in the synopsis about a murder.  If Oh Yoon Hee (Yu Jin) did not win at lotery or did not marry a rich husband how she is going to enter high society? She witnessed the murder or maybe it was an accident, and she was paid a huge amount of money for her silence.

     

    I read a comment on DC gall that Eugene's character is husband-less. And based on her character description, there's no mention of a husband, it's just her working hard to get money to enter high society. The witness a murder and get bribed is a plausible theory but that makes Eugene an anti-hero? How am I to root for her if she is a murder accomplice? And why and how did she enter Kim So Yeon's house and break the trophy thing? Lol. So many questions from the teaser.

     

    All in all....i'm still quite sad SSR is not in this. Penthouse looks like a gif-able drama and I would prefer having him in my gifs too hahaha 

     

    Another 'penthouse' gif from Return.

    I think Shin Eun kyung will have a funny role this time, a different role from her "The Last Empress" role. I am interested to see how she will handle the double life in Penthouse. :D

     

    Her role in TLE was evil, over the top but had funny moments. Empress dowager was multifaced, she lived many lives including the empress of Korea and also a drug lord. Hahaha.

    What is her exact role in Penthouse? Is her character description out yet? I'm imagining her as a housekeeper but actually a chaebol. Lol

    The official site is being contructed little by little. They are behind the MBC but I hope it is just a strategy and they are ready.

     

    Yeah..it's probably a strategy since there's a drama airing in the Mon-Tues slot on SBS.  The slot is currently occupied by Brahms which is a popular drama. And Penthouse itself is touted as most anticipated drama of 2020 2nd half in articles. The cast are well known/popular but most importantly the writer and director are popular too. Compare all that to MBC's upcoming drama....maybe MBC strategy was to promote earlier because currently there's no drama in MBC Mon-Tues slot (since July), the writer and director are not big names, and the main cast is not as well known nor as big in size as the Penthouse cast~

    I've been reading posts on DC Gallery and the amount of affairs in this drama are a lot! Lol! But the comment that grabbed my interest was it's like SKY Castle but focusing on entertainment as vocal study/music does cost a lot. Also Eugene's character is/was a musical actress too right? Probably her daughter wants to go to music school.

     

    I'm intrigued with Penthouse because I did enjoy the twists and turns in The Last Empress (especially when it has Emperor Hyuk :lol:). I'm expecting the same level of cray2 absurdity in Penthouse too. The teasers already looks cray2 with the psychedelic colours and the cosplay dance scene and that huge statue Hahahahaha.

    Anyways, I don't think a murder actually happens though. It probably is just symbolism for poor Eugene as she tries to enter high society~
